2005 Chateau Vieux Ch Certan Pomerol (750ml)
95 Points
"A stunning effort from Alexander Thienpont, the 2005 Vieux Chateau Certan (a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc) reveals an inky/blue/purple color along with a rich, sumptuous perfume of black olives, lavender, roasted herbs, licorice, pain grille, and oodles of truffles as well as creme de cassis. In the mouth, hints of chocolate and charcoal also make an appearance along with good acidity, fabulous purity, and a full-bodied, powerful mouthfeel. In keeping with the style of this terroir, the wine is reserved and restrained, but deep. It should develop magnificently, and age for 30-40 years.

appreciate the understated, classy style quite a bit. Even so, the 2005 is

not at the level of the best wines here. I suspect the 2005 will age

gracefully for several decades to come, if not considerably longer.

Tasted two times.
